Hooked! Ch05 Dolphin Release
In the shark release, I reflected a bit on why I spent so long on this chapter. Long story short, I was really nervous about how their first parody would be received. I put a lot of pressure on myself for the first "real" PIV scene, too. That, and there's much more animation in this one. And sound in some of them! That's been a requested feature for a while.
Gonna try my best to not get in my head so much in the coming chapters! Thanks to everyone who tested out the Shark Beta and helped me find bugs and errors. Here's the Dolphin release of chapter five:

It includes:
Chapter five (ofc)
New settings for what to display in the screenshot notification, find it under "screeenshot notification" in Preferences. Let me know if this setting breaks anything for you!
A few tweaks in spelling and wording in earlier chapters, as well as a few more appearances from the "narrator"
A few minor under the hood code changes
Have any questions?
If you played the shark release, and want to know if there are any changes since you last played, check out the change log in the original post: https://www.patreon.com/posts/136605626
Feel free to let me know if you have any issues with getting the game, find any bugs, etc etc. Best place to post about that is on the discord, but you can also send me a DM here. If you have issues with itch saying you don't have a pledge, make sure you actually have an active pledge. If you cancel your patreon subscription before trying to access the game, itch can't see your membership (because it technically doesn't exist).
If itch says the session doesn’t match, try doing the whole process through an incognito window: New incognito window -> Log in to patreon -> Click link -> Connect Itch with Patreon. Make sure to donut all in one window. If even that doesn't work, send me a DM and we'll find a solution

I'm sure you've addressed this somewhere but I keep getting errors when trying to link the patreon account to itchio
You can just DM me the error and we’ll take it from there!
Does it work on chromebook ?
Haven't tried on chromebooks, but if they're android, then it should!
i cant get the full game on itch through the link or anywhere else
What kind of error are you getting?
I just bought a subscription to play the latest version of Hooked, but after downloading & extracting files for the game, it won't allow me to open/play it. The application keeps closing itself after I open it, even if I try "Run as administrator". Could you please help me figure out the issue I'm experiencing??
Usually these issues are because of the location the files are in. Make sure you got the correct version for your operating system and that you keep all the files in the extracted folder, i.e. don’t move the .exe out of the folder etc. If you have a different issue, you can DM me, as I’ll lose track of the conversation if it’s not in a DM
Hello, I'm having a problem with the temporary solution link. When I click it and enter my password, it says the link has expired.
By now itch is back up! Are you able to use the itch link?
So, I am confused and having trouble. I'm new to the whole genre and installing games without a downloader installed. This file is supposed to allow us to play past chapter 2 correct? Because I have played it and uninstalled it then reinstalled multiple times and it always cuts off at chapter 2.
Sounds like you’re not playing the correct version. What system are you on?
Animation is amazing. I'll be honest, I saw "Blenderknight" and immediately looked for the purchase button. You do amazing work! I love the opening animations on each chapter. Nothing too exaggerated, and honestly just wonderful moments that are animated. I have loved all the silly bits from Max, she's adorable! Hannah's attitude is SPOT ON, and Helen is a fuckin dream! Genuinely, thanks for making this. SO damn good!
This warms my heart to see! Thanks so much for the feedback and I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Hope you like chapter six just as much!
I CANNOT STOP LAUGHING!! Nighthawk is AMAZING!
Extra props for the Gunsmith Cats reference. had never seen one of those before. kudos!
So where do I go for issues?
The Discord is probably best for that or you can DM me
each chapter has been better than the last, great job!
I love you BK
10/10. this game was made with so much passion. the art details go beyond than any other games I've played.
Thanks for this and getting back to my chapter 4 comment , hope you're well BK,and can't wait to see what the future holds.
Wowowow this was so good you really just keep getting better!
Will say I love the extra little details you insert in to just add “life” to the game and characters. Small stuff like looking at the fish tank and knowing more fish will be added later, and just learning more about the girls makes the experience so much better. Really appreciate the work you put into it :)
Thank you so much, it makes me really happy to read!
10/10 have been waiting to have something with the goth for so long and was worth the wait
Little Disappointed that it's so short again and only focuses on Helen. Imo you could skip so much of the talking and all the details in the background but I know some others think differently
How long did you spend playing it? I’ll take your feedback into consideration, but I most likely won’t make backgrounds less detailed or conversations shorter than they already are.
Already played it and it was 10/10
Ah yeah, very excited to play this chapter, each chapter have been very high quality
